A PIECE of sandstone, inscribed with mysterious ancient runes, is to become the focus of a new exhibition after being installed at Dunbeath Heritage Centre more than ten years after it was discovered by local schoolchildren.
Pupils from the village school were asked along to the centre to celebrate the return of the centuries-old Portormin rune-stone which could be one of the earliest signs of Viking activity in the area.
